Title: How to find the length of the Hypotenuse on a Right Triangle.


Lesson Objective: Students will be able to find the hypotenuse of right triangles by learning the formula for the Pythagorean theorem.

Introduction: The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem; which states that the length of the hypotenuse squared has to equal to the sum of the other two sides squared.
